Parks & Nature
Walk through the fabulous garden grounds and follow the pathways down by the River Kelvin. On sunny days it's where Glaswegians go to hang out. Don't miss the glasshouses including the famous Kibble Palace which was donated to the city in 1871 by the Victorian entrepreneur John Kibble.
